WWE Makes Change To Roman Reigns' Status Following SummerSlam Return

Roman Reigns is now internally listed as a babyface, as well as one other major WWE Superstar.

Roman Reigns is now officially listed by WWE as a babyface, as well as Damian Priest. A recent report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider states:

"As you may have guessed, Roman Reigns and Damian Priest are now listed internally by WWE as baby faces for their respective brands."

This follows the events of last Saturday's SummerSlam event, which saw several landscape-shifting angles take place. Reigns made his first appearance since dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40. With Cody defending the title against Solo Sikoa in a 'Bloodline Rules' Match, Roman returned towards the end of last weekend's bout to attack the challenger, who had usurped his position as leader of the Bloodline in the meantime.

Elsewhere on the card, there was upheaval in the Judgement Day stable, as Dominik Mysterio betrayed Rhea Ripley to side with Liv Morgan, and Finn Balor cost Damian Priest the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther. 

Last night's WWE Raw seemed to confirm a new-look Judgement Day without Priest and Rhea, but now including Morgan, rather than the heels leaving to form their own group. 

Roman Reigns will make his first appearance on SmackDown since WrestleMania 40 this Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
